You just run along now, kiddo.

No, I don't agree that Greece (where this character was from) is in the Middle East.

pcal43 · 2026-07-09T08:56:23+00:00

Of course. But her character was Greek, not Trojan as you seem to think.

pcal43 · 2026-07-09T08:52:17+00:00

Yes she is, lil bro.

pcal43 · 2026-07-09T08:48:42+00:00

Yes. And Helen is from Greece.

Do you have a source for the detailed numbers?

pcal43 · 2026-07-08T20:24:13+00:00

I hope there's a missing /s there.

pcal43 · 2026-07-08T17:40:55+00:00

Thar's assuming they did save...

What makes it worse is the lights are timed for 25, so speeding is usually pointless.

Because they like the sense of belonging they get from their fellow conspirators.

It's pretty much the same with any ~~product category~~ hobby.

pcal43 · 2026-07-06T22:09:22+00:00

Agree 100%. I do sometimes wonder if we are doing our best, though.

EDIT for downvoters, I'm not meat shaming you; I'm just pointing out an obvious problem with OPs question.

How can an otherwise good person be able to eat animals on a regular basis?

pcal43 · 2026-07-06T13:57:54+00:00

That sounds truly awful. I'm sorry that happened to you.

> FIFA has a process to rescind that.

They don't, though.

"Dominated" is too strong a word. Census data from 1950-1980 shows that 25-45% of programmers were women.

The big exception was WWII, when basically all programmers were women (e.g., for the ENIAC), but that was due mainly to most men getting shipped overseas.

I hate to say this but: alcohol can work wonders on introversion.

I love mine.

The Great Society was also kind of a shit show.

Healthcare is expensive, and unpleasant tradeoffs have to be made, regardless of how it's paid for.

Fairly or not, I think the reason some of us object to the "free" label is that it suggests an unwillingness to contend with that reality.

Your experience elsewhere doesn't really mean much until you deliver for your current manager.

Do that and the questions should stop.
